BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of Invention

The invention relates to additional function of heels on footwear(otherwise called shoes) and imitation footwear such as a bag, asadditional compartment to put more personal items. That is more spacethat might appear like a secret compartment to carry items around.

2. Description of Prior Art

The prior art, heels of footwear and imitation footwear are usually madeof solid material whose main function is to give more height, beauty inappearance while the sole is made of materials which allows the form ofthe footwear to rest upon it, in addition providing comfort in walkingto the user. In recent cases some footwear are now being used as bags,which is the foot space used to carry contents like a normal bags.

Heels of footwear vary in different heights. Some feature very longslender heel for more sexy appearance others medium to low heels formore comfortable everyday wear or to indicate a shoe design bag forthose used as bags, one of the uses of imitation of footwear. The ideahere is to make footwear and imitation footwear heels even more usefuland more appealing than just height, beautification and comfortpurposes.

BACKGROUND OF INVENTION-OBJECTS AND ADVANTAGES

My invention is to make heels located at the bottom of footwear andimitation footwear more functional. Regardless of what the footwear isbeing used for bags, decorative or walking, the invention is to gobeyond more than it meets the eyes by making a compartment within theheel as a pocket of its own. The heel itself will be attached at the toppart of the heel to the end part to the footwear; the invention is theopening of the heel to gain access to its interior which can be locatedat any part of the heel. The opening function of the heel can beproduced using the same methods used in making normal bottle or anycompartment that allows things to be stored within it. Opening andclosing methods could be to snap, slide, twist, click it to open; whichis all types of methods used in bottled compartment in securing itscontents could be used. Some could feature additional mechanism toensure its closure, various locking devices such as but not limited tomagnets to make the top and bottom lock together enclosing items within.

Having access to the inner part of the heel as a pocket will enable theuser more secret space to put items they might not want known to thepublic. For example, the user could be carry a small handbag that daybut might want somewhere to keep more private items such as pills, orcondoms for a night out. The compartment heel created will make the roomfor such things, giving the user more peace of mind of ever beingsuspected of carrying such items, thus more privacy and secrecy. And ifit is the case where it is a footwear imitation goods such as a bag, theheel compartment process will also apply.

The footwear imitation goods lets use the bags in this case, which isthey feature straps on them that are used to carry around as a bag.Usually the inner area designed to house the foot itself is small andmight not allow for much content to be carried within it. The user mightwant to carry more delicate things that they don's want jingling ormingling with other harder or free things in the main foot capacityarea. The user can open the heel area to keep these precious items in.Other possible thing to build within the heel is a smaller innerremovable or attached compartment made of materials that could holdliquid or solid content. For example a bottle or a perfume atomizer (asmaller perfume case that could be refillable or not refillable) withinthe heel. Some users might be going for a long night and not want tocarry their bigger perfume bottles with them. Naturally their instinctwill be to have a smaller perfume bottle to take with them. All theyhave to do is open the heel and use the inner bottle built within theheel. One of many other use of the heel that most definitely will appealto the user is the ability to store currency, precious belongings suchas jewelry or any other precious items within it using the inner bottleor simply the heel compartment created. An excellent way to keepemergency money stashed away from easy access and unwanted long watchfuleyes from the public. Imagine a user getting robbed and was told toempty their bags (either the footwear being used as bags or actualnormal bags). The user could easily comply knowing fully well that thereis money hidden in the heels of their footwear to rely on, thus savingtheir own lives from wanting to resist such temptations. The user couldeasily show the inner part of the footwear proudly to anyone who wantsto admire it without showing personal contents hidden within the heeleven if it is well known that the heels have compartment, privacy willbe respected.

The creations will make the user want to actually use the heelcompartment as they would a normal pocket. Several objects andadvantages of invention comprises of:

-   -   a To provide functional compartment within the heel of footwear        and footwear imitations creating more space to store items        giving into the idea of a “pocketed heel”.    -   b To provide additional inner compartment made of materials that        will allow liquid or solid storage within the heel compartment        created.

Further objects and advantages will become apparent from considerationof ensuing description and drawings.

SUMMARY
